Local Arts and Entertainment Forecast
It's almost summertime and the forecast is looking sweet. Along with the high temperatures, Minneapolis will be experiencing a large front of entertainment, with immeasurable precipitation of the Arts. The following is your amusement forecast for the Twin Cities, brought to you by weather expert and marketing intern Ally.
Attention Minnesotans! There has been a Warning for great amounts of leisure in the next month.
An advisory is being sent out to all native residents: Ballet Minnesota will be performing Sleeping Beauty at the Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul Sat., May 15, 2:00pm, and daily from Fri., May 14 until Sat., May 15, at 7:30pm.
We will also be experiencing large gusts of comedy. Formulating at many local venues, comedians will come and go throughout May, such as Conan O'Brian, who will be performing at the Orpheum Theatre May 18th at 7:30 p.m.
If you begin to feel a breeze in your jeans due to empty pockets and vacant wallets, do not fret. There will be no drought of free events this month. Daily from Sat., April 3rd until Sat., May 22nd, Franklin Art Works will host its latest FREE show, which is a mix of photography, drawings, film, and paintings.
The intense climate change may have you thirsty. To accommodate, attend Sweeney's Saloon and Café for "Recovery Happy Hour." Indulge with $2.50 pints of beer and $.50 tacos daily from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. Not a beer drinker? Bottles of wine are half off Sunday and Monday.
Also, you are at high risk of encountering a rarely seen and heard instrument, the Organ. Every Tuesday at 9:00 p.m., The Artists' Quarter has dedicated the evening to this venerable instrument, with "Downtown" Bill Brown manning the keys and jazz-scene vets Billy Franze and Kenny Horst sitting in on guitar and drums.
And please, don't get caught in a haze of stress. Get outdoors to experience high temperatures at the Gateway Trial, which begins just north of the state capitol in St. Paul and ends just north of Stillwater. And while you're there, get hit by the storm of fresh produce at the St. Paul Farmer's Market.
Oh- this just in... Alice in Wonderland: A Fantasy will be at the Parkway Theater Sat., May 22, 2:00pm, Sun., May 23, 7:15pm. Don't miss it!
Well folks, that's all I have for today.
